This is a mixed game, being a combination of chance and 
calculation. Its derivation is a vexed question, both as to 
whence it came and how it acquired its present designa- 
tion. " La Maison des Jeux Academiques^' abandons its ori- 
gin as a desperate problem, and Dr. Henry claims its name 
as a Welsh compound, from " bach,^' little, and '^ cammon,'' 
battle. On the other hand, Bp. Kennett and Strutt derive it 
from the Anglo-Saxon, viz., from "bac," back, and " gamone," 
a game, that is to say, a game where players are exposed to be 
sent back. Perhaps this may satisfy the antiquarian and be 
accepted as a sufficient offering to the etymologist. It would 
have been a mere recreation in chronology, to have dis- 
puted all the probabilities for assigning Backgammon to the 

385 



'jU backgammon. 

antediluvian age. One portion of its macliinery consists of 
dice — now dice defy chronology. Their types are found in 
Etruscan tombs and in the hieroglyphics of Egypt; and the 
historian of Chaeronea asserts, that Mercury had a throw of 
the dice once upon a time with the Goddess Luna. 

From Chaucer we gather that the early name of Backgam- 
mon, or at all events its synonyme, was '' Tables ;^' at which 
period it was played with three dice, and all the "men^' 
commenced their action from the adversary's table. Back- 
gammon has always been a particularly respectable instru- 
ment of amusement, like the Organ in " She Stoops to con- 
quer.'' Even Whist has not escaped defilement, but Back- 
gammon "was never a vulgar game, never beloved of lackeys." 
Shakspeare has used it as a medium for his philosophy, and 
Bacon has served bail for its good behaviour. 

Backgammon is played by two persons, with two boxes and 
two dice, upon a quadrangular table or board, on which are 
figured 24 points oi flechcs, of two colours, placed alternately. 
The board is divided into four compartments, two inner and 
two outer ones, each containing six of the 24 points (alter- 
nate colours.) The players are each furnished with fifteen, 
men or counters, black and white (usually draughts.) These 
are arranged upon the board, in the following manner. To 
play into the left hand table, two of your men are placed upon 
the ace point of your opponent's inner table, five upon the 
sixth point in his outer table (numbered 12 in our diagram,) 
three upon the cinque-point in your own outer table num- 
bered 8,) and five upon the sixth point, in your own inner 
table. The adversary's men are to be placed in correspond- 
ing order, in a position directly opposite. All this is shown 
in the diagram annexed, and to facilitate reference the points 
or fleches are numbered from 1 to 12 of each colour. 

The game consists in moving your men from point to point, 
80 as to bring them round into your own inner table (i. e., 
that on your left hand,) and then moving or bearing them off 
the board. The player who first clears off his men wins. 

The moves of the men are determined by the throws of the 
dice, according to the directions for playing, at page 394. It 
will there be seen that the most advantageous throw at the 
outset is that of aces, as it blocks the bar or sixth point in your 
other table (numbered 7,) and secures the cinque-point in 
386 



GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS. ^ 

yonr inner table, so that your adversary's two men cannot 
move if he throw either quatre, cinfjue, or size. This throw 
is frequently conceded to inferior players, at the commence- 
ment of the game, by way of odds. 

As the grand object of the game consists in bringing round 
your men into your own inner table, all throws that contribute 
towards that end, and prevent your adversary from doing the 
same are advantageous, and vice versa. During the progress 
of the game you should endeavour to block up or detain a 
part of your adversary's men, in your own tables ; and to 
obstruct his re-entering such of them as you may happen to 
have taken up, unless all your own men have passed his main 
body, and are so far advanced to your inner table (which we 
will here call home) as to possess the best chance, should he 
seek to win by running away. 

At the commencement of the game the players must agree 
towards which end of the board they will play. Each party 
plays into one of the tables on his own side ; thus, if Black 
plays into his left-hand table, White plays into his right (i. e., 
that which is exactly opposite,) and vice versa, their men 
advancing in contra-position to each other, as in the annexed 
diagram. 

For a right of first play each party throws a single die ; he 
who throws the highest number wins, and may, if he chooses, 
adopt and play the joint number of the preliminary throw. 
If he reject, then the first step is made by his throwing both 
the dice, and moving any one of his men to an open point at 
the distance indicated by one of the dice, and then moving 
another man (or the same man farther on, if he think proper,) 
to another open point indicated by the number of the second 
die. This completes his move, his adversary then follows in 
a similar manner, and so on alternately to the end of the 
game. Thus, double aces (which count as 4) would entitle 
you (say "White) to move two men from 8 w. to 7 w., and 
two from 6 w. to 5 w., which covers the bar point (No. 7,) 
and also covers the cinque point in your inner table, and then, 
should your next throw be 5 and 6, you would play the five 
from 12 b. to 8 w., and so cover the blot before left; and 
you would play the six from 12 b. to your bar point. Pairs 
count double ; thu5, sixes entitle you to move four men, each 
six points forward, and you may either move four together, 

387 



If BACKGAMMON. 

say, from 12 b. to 7 w., or two together, as, say, two from 
1 B. to your adversary's bar point (No. 7,) and two from 12 
B. to 7 w. (your own bar point,) or singly, — as, say, a single 
man from 1 b. to 1 w. in your own inner table, presuming 
that your adversary had ceased to occupy it. 

The direction in which your men move is from the adverse 
inner table over the bar, through the adversary's outer table 
round into your own outer table, and then over your bar, 
home. 

When during the progress of the game only a single man 
is left on a point, it is called " a blot,'' and is exposed to be 
taken by the adversary, who generally endeavours to ^' hit " 
the blot by bringing one of his own men to that point. When 
a man is thus captured it must be removed, and placed upon 
the bar (i. e., the division joint of the table,) and the player 
to whom it belongs cannot move again, until he has " entered 
his man.'' This can only be effected by throwing a number 
which is vacant, or is left a '^ blot" on the adversary's inner 
table, playing it as from a point off the board, adjoining to 
the adversary's ace point. Towards the end of the game, 
when most of the points in your adversary's inner table are 
covered (/. e., have two or more men on each,) it becomes 
difficult to enter, and you must remain on the bar, till you 
have either thrown the exact number required to suit per- 
haps a single open point, or till more points are exposed, 
by your adversary having played some of his men off the 
table. When all the six points are blocked, it is of course 
useless your throwing, and your adversary throws alone. 
" Hitting" a blot frequently adds extreme variety and interest 
to the game. 

When doublets are thrown, four moves are played of the 
distance indicated by the dice, instead of two, as usual in 
ordinary throws. For instance, should two quatres be thrown, 
any of the following moves may be played, either one man 
may be moved sixteen points; two men each eight points; 
one man eight, and two men four points ; or four men four 
points each. Should, however, the points indicated by the 
throw of the dice be covered, the moves are lost. For in- 
stance, if double quatres be cast, and the first fourth point 
from all the player's men be covered by the adversary, the 
move is lost, although the eighth, twelfth, and sixteenth points 
388 



GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS. S 

he uncovered, as the first fourth point, if occupied, cannot be 
parsed over. 

If, during the course of the game, every point upon which 
a man could be moved is covered by the adversary's men, 
your men are compelled to remain in statu quo, and the 
adversary takes his turn. If one man only can be played, 
it must be played. 

When a player has brought all his men home, he must 
begin to " bear them,'^ i. e., to take them oflf the board. For 
every number thrown a man is removed from the correspond- 
ing point, until the whole are borne oflf. In doing this, 
should the adversary be waiting to " enter " any of his men 
which have been " hit,'' care should be taken to leave no 
"blots'' or uncovered points. In "bearing oflf" doublets 
have the same power as in the moves, four men are removed ; 
if higher numbers are on the dice than on the points, men 
may be taken from any lower point, thus if double sixes are 
thrown, and the point has been already stripped, four men 
may be removed from the cinque point of any lower number. 
If a low number is thrown, and the corresponding point hold 
no men, they must be played up from a higher point. Thus, 
if double aces be thrown, and there are no men upon the ace 
point two or more men must be played up from the higher 
points, or a fewer number played up and taken oflP. 

If one player has not borne off his first man before the 
other has borne off his last, he loses a "gammon," which is 
equivalent to two games, or " hits." If each player has 
borne off it is reduced to a " hit," or game of one. If the 
winner has borne off all his men before the loser has carried 
his men out of his adversary's table, it is a " back-gammon," 
and usually held equivalent to three hits or games. 



Calmfation of the Chances. 

As it is necessary for a learner to know how many points 
he ought to throw upon the two dice, one throw with another ; 
we will take the following method to demonstrate it. 

There are thirty-six chances upon two dice, the points of 
which are as follows :

General Instructions. 

I. If you play three up at Backgammon, your principal 
view, in the first place, is to secure your own, or your adver- 
sary's cinque point, or both ; when that is efi"ected, you may 
play a pushing game, and endeavour to gammon your adver- 
sary. 

II. The next best point (after you have gained your cinque 
point) is to make your bar point, thereby preventing your 
adversary's running out with doublet sixes. 

III. After you have proceeded thus far, prefer the making 
your quatre point in your own table, rather than the quatre 
point out of it. 

IV. Having gained these points, you have a fair chance to 
gammon your adversary, if he is very forward : For, suppose 
his tables are broke at home, it will be then your interest to 
open your bar point, and to oblige him to come out of your 
tables with a six ; and having your men spread, you not only 
may catch that man which your adversary brings out of your 
tables, but you will also have a probability of taking up the 
man left in your tables ("upon supposition that he has two men 
there). If he should nave a blot at home, it will then be 
your interest not to make up your tables; because, if he 
should enter upon a blot, which you are to make for the 
purpose, you will have a probability of getting a third man ; 
which, if accomplished, will give you, at least, 4 to 1 of the 

393

ganuQon ; whereas, if you have only two of his men up, the 
odds are that you do not gammon him. 

y. If you play for a hit only, 1 or 2 men taken up of your 
adversary's, makes it surer than a greater number, provided 
your tables are made up. 

Directions how to carry your Men home. 

\1. When yon carry your men home, in order to lose no 
point, you are to carry the most distant man to your adver- 
sary's bar point, that being the first stage you are to place it 
on; the next stage is six points further, viz., the place where 
your adversary's five men are first placed out of his tables ; 
the next stage is upon the six point in your tables. This 
method is to be pursued till all your men are brought home, 
except two, when, by losing a point, you may often save your 
gammon, by putting it in the power of two fives, or two fours 
to save it. 

yn. If you play to win a hit only, endeavour to gain either 
your own or your adversary's cinque point; and if that fails, 
by your being hit by your adversary, and you find that he is 
forwarder than you, you must throw more men into his table. 
Thus : put a man upon your cinque or bar point, and if your 
adversary neglects to hit it, you may then gain a forward in- 
stead of a back game ; but if he hits you, you must play a 
back game, and then the greater the number of men which 
are taken up, the better it makes your game, because you by 
that means preserve your game at home ; and you must then 
always endeavour to gain both your adversary's ace and trois 
points, or his ace and deuce points, and take care to keep 
three men upon his ace point, that if you chance to hit him 
from thence, that point may remain still secure to you. 

yill. At the beginning of a set do not play for a back 
game, because by so doing you would play to a great disad- 
vantage, running the risk of a gammon to win a single hit. 

Directions for Playing at setting out the Thirty-six Chance* 
of Dice, for a Gammon, or for a Single Hit. 

I. Two aces (the best of all first throws), to be played two 
on your cinque point, and two on the bar point for a gammon, 
or for a hit. 

n. Two sixes (the second best throw), should be played

Directions how to Play the Cfhances that are marked thus (*) 
when you are only to Play for a Hit. 

I. *Two trois, two of them are to be played on your cinque 
point in your own tables, and with the other two take the 
quatre point in your adversary's tables. 

II. *Two deuces, two of them are to be played on your 
quatre point in your own tables, and with the other two take 
the trois point in your adversary's tables. 

The two foregoing cases are to be played in this manner, for 
this reason, viz.. That thereby you avoid being shut up in 
your adversary's tables, and have the chance of throwing high 
doublets to win the hit. 

III. *Two fours, two of them are to take your adversary's 
cinque point in his tables ', and for the other two, two men 
are to be brought from the five placed in your adversary's 
tables. 

IV. 1. *Cinque-ace, play the cinque from the five men 
placed in your adversary's tables,' and play the ace from your 
adversary's ace point. 

V. 2. *Quatre-ace, play the quatre from the five men 
placed in your adversary's tables, and the ace from the men 
on your adversary's ace point. 

VI. 3. *Deuca-ace, play the deuce from the five men placed 
in your adversary's tables, and the ace from your adversary's 
ace point.

396 



OBSERVATIONS, HINTS, AND CAUTIONS, /3 

laying an ace down in your adversary's tables, you have a 
probability of throwing deuce ace, trois deuce, quatre trois, 
or size cinque, in two or three throws; in any of which cases 
you are to make a point, which gives you the better of the 
hit. 

You may observe, by the directions given in this chapter, 
that you are to play nine chances out of the thirty-six in a 
different manner for a single hit, to what you would do when 
playing for a gammon. 



Some OhservationSj Hints, and Cautions, which are to he 
attended to. 



I. By the directions given to play for a gammon, you are 
voluntarily to make some blots, the odds being in your favor, 
that they are not hit ; but should it so happen, that any blot 
is hit, as in this case, you will have three men in your adver- 
sary's table, you must then endeavour to secure your adver- 
sary's cinque, quatre, or trois point, to prevent a gammon, 
and must be very cautious how you suffer your adversary to 
take up a fourth man. 

II. Take care not to crowd your game at any time, if pos- 
sible. What is meant by crowding a game, is the putting 
many men either upon your trois or deuce point in your own 
tables ; which is, in effect, losing those men, by not having 
them in play. 

Besides, by crowding your game, to attempt to save a gam- 
mon, you are often gammoned ; because when your adversary 
finds your game open, by being crowded in your own tables, 
he may then play his game as he thinks fit. 

III. By recourse had to the calculations, you ma.y know 
what are the Odds of your entering a single man upon any 
certain number of points, and by that means you may play 
your game accordingly. 

IV. If you are obliged to leave a blot, by recourse to the 
calculation for hitting it, you will find the chances for and 
against; and consequently you will be enabled to judge how 
to play your game to the greatest advantage. 

V. You will also find by the calculations, the odds for and 

35 397

against jou, upon being hit by double dice, and consequently 
you will choose such a method of play as is most to your 
advantage. 

YI. If it is necessary to make a run, in order to win a bit, 
and you would know to a point which is the forwarder, take 
the following method : 

Begin with reckoning how many points you must have, to 
bring home to your size point in your own tables, the man 
that is at the greatest distance from it, and do the like by 
every other man that is abroad ; when the numbers of those 
absentees are summed up, add to them the following numbers 
for those already in your own tables, (supposing the men that 
were abroad as on your size point for bearing) namely, six for 
every man on the size point, five for every man on the cinque 
point, four for every man on the quatre point, three for every 
man on the trois point, two for every man on the deuce point, 
and one for every man on your ace point. Do the like to 
your adversary's game, and then you will know which of you 
is forwardest, and likeliest to win the hit. 



Observations and Directions for a Learner iclio lias made some 
Progress at Back-gammon; particularly Directions for 
hearing his men, 

I. If your adversary be greatly before you, never play a 
man from your quatre, trois, or deuce points, in order to bear 
that man from the point where you put it, because nothing 
but high doublets can give you any chance for the hit ; there- 
fore, instead of playing an ace or a deuce from any of the 
aforesaid points, alwaj's play them on from your size or highest 
point ; by which means you will find, that throwing two fives, 
or two fours, will, upon having eased your size and cinque 
points, be of great advantage to you : Whereas, had your size 
point remained loaded, you must, perhaps, be obliged to play 
at length those fives and fours. 

II. Whenever you have taken up two of your adversary's 
men, and happen to have two, three, or more points made 
in your own tables, never fail spreading your men, in order 
either to take a new point in your tables, or to be ready to 
hit the man your adversary may happen to enter. As soon

HOW TO BEAR YOUR MEN.

as he enters one of his men, you are to compare his game 
with jour's ; and if jou find jour game equal to his, or 
better, never fail taking his man up, if jou can, because it is 
25 to 11 against his hitting jou; which chance being so much 
in jour favor, jou ought alwajs to run that risk, when jou 
have already two of his men up. ' 

There is this exception to this rule, that if jou plaj for a 
single hit onlj, and jour plajing that throw otherwise gives 
JOU a better chance for the hit, jou ought not to take up that 
man. 

in. Never be deterred from taking up anj one man of 
jour adversar)-'s, bj the apprehension of his hitting jou with 
double dice, because the fairest probabilitj jour adversary 
has of hitting jou, is 5 to 1 against him, 

IV. If JOU should happen to have five points covered in 
jour tables, and to have taken up one of jour adversarj's 
men, and are obliged to leave a blot out of jour tables, rather 
leave it upon doublets, than anj other chance, because dou- 
blets are 35 to 1 against his hitting jou, and anj other chance 
is but 17 to 1 against him. 

y. Two of jour adversarj^s men in jour tables, are better 
for a hit, than anj greater number, provided jour game be 
forwardest, because his having three or more men in jour 
tables, gives him more chance to hit jou, than if he had only 
two men there. 

YI. If JOU are to leave a blot, upon entering a man in 
jour adversarj's tables, or otherwise, and have it in jour 
choice to leave it upon what point jou please, alwajs choose 
that which is the most disadvantageous to him. To illustrate 
this bj an example, let us suppose it his interest to hit jou or 
take JOU up as soon as jou enter, in that case leave the blot 
upon his lowest point ; that is to saj upon his deuce, rather 
than upon his trois point, or upon his trois, preferable to 
his quatre point ; or upon his quatre, preferable to his cinque 
point ; because, (as has been mentioned before) all the men 
your adversarj plajs upon his trois, or his deuce points, 
are deemed as lost, being in a great measure out of plaj, 
those men not having it in their power to make his cinque 
^oint, and consequentlj his game will be crowded there, and 
open elsewhere, whereby you will be able also much to annoy 
him.

/6 BACKGAMMON. 

TIT. To prevent your adversary from bearing his men to 
the greatest advantage, when you are running to save your 
gammon ; as, for instance, suppose you should have two men 
upon his ace point, and several other men abroad, though you 
should lose one point or two in putting your men into your 
tables, yet it is your interest to leave a man upon your adver- 
sary's ace point, which will have this consequence ; that it 
will prevent his bearing his men to the greatest advantage, 
and will also give you the chance of his making a bolt, which 
you may chance to hit. But if, upon a calculation, you find 
that you have a throw, or a probability of saving your gam- 
mon, never wait for a blot, because the odds are greatly 
against hitting it. 



CaseSy showing how to calculate the odds of saving or vnnning 
a Gammon. 

I. Suppose your tables are made up, and that you have 
taken up one of your adversary's men ; and suppose your 
adversary has so many men abroad as require three throws to 
put them in his tables. 

It is then about an equal wager that you gammon 
him. 

Because, in all probability, you will bear two men before 
you open your table, and when you bear the third man, you 
will be obliged to open your size or cinque point ; in that case 
it is probable that your adversary must take two throws before 
he enters his man in your tables, and two throws more before 
he puts that man into his own tables, and three throws more 
to put into his own tables the men which were abroad, which 
in all, make seven throws ; and as you have twelve men to 
bear, these probably will take seven throws in bearing, because 
you may twice be obliged to make an ace, or a deuce, before 
you can bear all your men. 

No mention is made of doublets on either side, that event 
being equal to each party. 

The foregoing case shows it is in your power to calculate 
very nearly the odds of saving or winning a gammon upon 
most occasions. 

II. Suppose I have three men upon my adversar/s ace 
400 



ODDS OF SAVING OR WINNING A GAMMON. \J 

point, and five points in my tables, and that my adversary has 
all his men in his tables, three upon each of his five highest 
points : 

What is the probability for his gammoning me, or not ? 
For his bearing 3 men from his 6 point, is 18 
from his 5 point, 15 
from his 4 point, 12 
from his 3 point, 9 
from his 2 point, 6 

Total, 60 

To bring my three men from my adversary's 
ace point, to my size point in my tables, 

being for each 18 points, makes in all 54 

The remainder is 6 
And besides the six points in your favor, there is a further 
consideration to be added for you, which is, that your adver- 
sary may make one or two blots in bearing, as is frequently 
the case. You see by this calculation, that you have greatly 
the better of the probability of saving your gammon. 
This case is supposed upon an equality of throwing. 
III. Suppose I leave two blots, neither of which can be 
hit but by double dice ; to hit the one, that cast must be 
eight, and to hit the other it must be nine ; by which means 
myj adversary has only one die to hit either of them. 
What are the odds of his hitting either of these bolts ? 
The chances on two dice are in all, 36. 
The chances to hit 8 are, 6 and 2 twice, . . .2 
5 and 3 twice, . . 2 
2 deuces, . . .1 

2 fours, ... 1 
The chances to hit 9 are, 6 and 3 twice, . . .2 
5 and 4 twice, . . 2 
2 trois, . ... 1 

Total chances for hitting, . . 11 

Remaining chances for not hitting, . .25 

So that it is 25 to 11 that he will not hit either of those 
blots. 

35* 401

BACKGAMMON. 



IV. To give another example, let us suppose that I leave 
two other blots than the former, which cannot be hit but by 
double dice, the one must be hit by eight, and the other by 
seven. 

What are the odds of my adversary's hitting either of 
these blots ? ' ' 

The chances on two dice are in all, 36. 



The chances to hit 8 are, 6 and 2 twice.

5 and 3 twice,

Remain chances for not hitting, . . 24 
Therefore it is two to one that I am not hit 

The like method is to be taken with three, four, or five blots 
upon double dice ; or with blots made upon double and single 
dice at the same time ; you are then only to find out (by the 
table of 36 chances) how many there are to hit any of those 
blots, and add all together in one sum, which subtract from 
the number of 36, which is the whole of the chances upon two 
dice : so doing resolves any question required. 

V. The following cases are to show a way of calculating, 
which may be called a mechanical way of solving questions 
of the like nature. 

What are the odds of throwing 7 twice, before 10 once ? 

It is 5 to 4 that 10 is thrown once before 7 is thrown 
twice, which is demonstrated as follows : 

Suppose the stake depending is nine pounds, my first throw 
entitles me to have one-third part of that money, because 7 
has 6 chances for it, and 10 has but 3 chances, and therefore 
it is two to one. 
402

the remainder is 6/. out of which a third part 
is to be taken for the second throw 2 



The total is, 6

The whole stake is, £9 



VI. What are the odds of entering a man upon any cer- 
tain point in two throws ? 

Suppose 36 shillings is the whole stake depending, what is 
my share of that stake, having laid 18 shillings that I enter 
in two throws ? By the calculations in the table of 36 
chances, it is found that I have 11 chances out of the 36 for 
entering the first throw, for which therefore I am entitled to 
11 out of the 36 shillings.' 

The stake is, 36 



For the first throw, Oil 



Remains, £0 25 



The remainder, being 25 shillings, is to be divi- 
ded into 36 equal parts, of which I am enti- 
tled to eleven of those parts, which makes 7s. 
7 id. J for the second throw . . 7 7^ 



Adding this to the other 11 shillinga, makes my 

share of the stake to be . . , 18 7 J 

Then my adversary's share will be . . 17 4^ 

Total of the stake, £0 36 



Therefore it is very nearly 15 to 14 in favor of entering a 
man upon any certain point in two throws. 

Chapter VIII. — Critical case for a Bach-game. 

I. Let us suppose A plays the fore-game, and that all his 
men are placed in the usual manner : 

403 



iiO BACKGAMMON. 

For B's game, suppose that fourteen of his men are placed 
upon his adversary's ace point, and one man upon his adver- 
sary's deuce point, and that B is to throw. 

AVhich game is likeliest to win the hit ? 

A's is the best by 21 for, to 20 against; because, if B 
misses an ace to take his adversary's deuce point, which is 25 
to 11 against him, A is, in that case, to take up B's men in 
his tables, either singly, or to make points ; and if B secures 
either A's deuce or trois point, in that case, A is to lay as 
many men down as possible, in order to be hit, that thereby 
he may get a back-game. 

When you are pretty well versed in the game of Back- 
gammon, by practising this back-game, you will become a 
greater proficient in the game than by any other method, be- 
cause it clearly demonstrates the whole power of the back- 
game. 

Back-gatne. 

II. Let us suppose A to have five men placed upon his size 
point, five men upon his quatre point, and five men upon his 
deuce point, all in his own tables : 

And suppose B to have three men placed upon A's ace 
point, three men upon A's trois point, and three men upon 
A's cinque point; let B also have three men upon his size 
point in his own tables, and three men placed out of his 
tables, in the usual manner : 

Who has the better of the hit ? 

It is an equal game; but to play it critically, the difficulty 
lies upon B, who is in the first place to endeavour to gain his 
cinque and quatre points in his own tables ; and when that 
is efi"ected, he is to lay two men from A's cinque point, in 
order to oblige his adversary to blot, by throwing an ace, 
which, if B hits, he will have the fairest probability of win- 
ning the hit. 

Back-game. 

III. Suppose A has three men upon B's ace point, and 
three men upon B's deuce point, also three men upon his size 
point in his own tables, and three men upon his usual point 
out of his tables, and three men where his five men are usually 
placed in his adversary's tables : 

404 



EXAMPLES OF CRITICAL POSITIONS. Zl 

And let us suppose B has bis men placed in the same man- 
ner, both in bis own and his adversary's tables, with this dif- 
ference only, viz. instead of having three men put upon A's 
deuce point, let him have three men upon A's trois point : 

Q. Who has the best of the hit ? 

A. A, because the ace and trois points are not so good for 
a hit, as the ace and deuce points in your adversary's tables, 
for when you are bearing your men, you have the deuce point 
in your own tables to play your men upon, which often pre- 
vents your making a blot, which must happen otherwise to 
your adversary ; and take care to lay down men to be hit as 
often as you can, in order to keep your game backward, and 
for the same reason avoid hitting any blots which your adver- 
sary makes. 

A Case of Curiosity and Instruction. 

TV. Let us suppose A has fifteen men upon B's ace point, 
B is supposed to have his bar point, also his size, cinque, qua- 
tre, and trois points in his own tables : 

How many throws is A likely to take to bring his fifteen 
men into his own tables, and to bear them ? 

A. You may undertake to do it in seventy-five throws. 

It is odds in A's favor that he throws an ace in two throws ; 
it is also odds in A's favor that he throws a six in two throws; 
when these events happen, A has'a probability of not wanting 
above two or three throws to play till he has got all his fifteen 
men into his own tables : therefore, by a former rule laid 
down to bring your men home, and also for bearing your men, 
you may be able to find out the probability of the number of 
throws required. Note, B stands still, and does not play. 

A Case of Curiosity and Instruction. 

V. Where A and B shall play as fast as usual, and yet A 
shall make the hit last, probably, for many hours. 

We will suppose B to have borne thirteen men, and that A 
has taken up the two remaining men : 

And let us suppose that A has fifteen men in B's tables^ viz. 
three men upon his size point, three men upon his cinque 
point, three upon his quatre point, three upon his trois point, 
two upon his deuce point, and one upon his ace point : 

405 



TJX. 



BACKGAMMON. 



The method, whicli A is to take, is this : let him bring his 
fifteen men home, by always securing six close points, till B 
has entered his two men, and brought them upon any certain 
point ; as soon as B has gained that point, A must open an 
ace, deuce, or trois, or all three ; which effected, B hits one of 
them, and A, taking care to have two or three men in B's ta- 
bles, is ready to hit that man ) and also, he being assured of 
taking up the other man, has it in his power to prolong the 
hit to almost any length, provided he takes care not to open 
such points, as two fours, two fives, or two sixes, but always 
to open the ace, deuce, or trois points, for B to hit him. 

VI. To know what are the odds upon two dice, for throw- 
ing two sixes, two fives, or two fours, in three throws; by 
mechanical calculation, it may be found thus : 

A. Supposing 36 shillings to be the stake dependiitg, s. d. 
the thrower will be entitled to have for his first throw, 3 
which deducted out of 36, remains 33 ; which divided 
again into 36 parts, make so many eleven pences, out 
of which the thrower is to have 3 for his second throw, 2 9 

The remainder, 30 shillings and three pence, is again 
to be divided into 36 parts ; dividing the 30 shillings 
so, make so many ten pences, and the three pence divi- 
ded into so many parts, make so many thirds of farth- 
ings, of which the thrower is to have three parts for 
his share for his third throw . . . • 2 6J 



Total for the thrower . 8 31 



So that it is 27s. %\d. to 8s. ^\d. against the thrower; 
which reduced into the smallest number, is very nearly as 10 
to 3, that two sixes, or two fives, or two fours, are not thrown 
in two throws. 

Bach-game. 

VII. Suppose A to have two men upon his size point in 
his own tables, three men upon his usual point in his outer 
table, two men upon the point where his five men are usually 
placed in his adversary's tables, five men upon his adversary's 
ace point, and three men upon his adversary's quatre point : 

And suppose B to have two men upon his size point in his 
own tables, three men upon his usual point in his outer table, 
406 



EXAMPLES OF CRITICAL POSITIONS. 23 

two men upon the point where his five men are usually placed 
in his adversary's tables, five men upon his adversary's ace 
point, and three men upon his adversary's trois point : 

Who has the fairest chance to win the hit ? 

A has, because he is to play either an ace, or a deuce, from 
his adversary's ace point, in order to make both these points 
as occasion oflfers ; and having the quatre point in his adver- 
sary's tables, he may more easily bring those men away, if 
he finds it necessary, and he will also have a resting place by 
the conveniency of that point, which at all times in the game 
will give him an opportunity of running for the hit, or stay- 
ing, if he thinks proper. Whereas B cannot so readily come 
from the trois point in his adversary's tables. 

A Case of Curiosity, 

I. Let us suppose A and B place their men in the follow- 
ing manner for a hit : 

Suppose A to have three men upon his size point in his 
own tables, three men upon the usual point in his outer table, 
and nine men upon his adversary's ace, deuce, and trois 
points, three men to be placed upon each point ; and suppose 
B's men to be placed in his own, and in his adversary's 
tables, in the same order and manner. 

The result is, that the best player ought to win the hit ; 
and the dice are to be thrown for, the situation being per- 
fectly equal in A's and B's game. 

If A throws first, let him endeavour to gain his adversary's 
cinque point ; when that is effected, let him lay as many blots 
as possible, to tempt B to hit him ; for every time that B hits 
them will be in A's favor, because it puts B backward; and 
let A take up none of B's men for the same reason. 

A is always to endeavour to have three men upon each of 
his adversary's ace and deuce points; because when B makes 
a blot, these points will remain secure, and by recourse had 
to a former case (No. V. in the former chapter) when A has 
borne five, six, or more men, yet A may secure six close 
points out of his tables, in order to prevent B from getting 
his man home ; and by recourse had to the calculations, he 
may easily find out (in case he makes up his tables) who 
has the better of the hit; and if he finds that B is forwarder, 

407 



tjj BACKGAMMON. 

he is then to endeavour to lay such blots to be taken up by 
his adversary, as may give him a chance for taking up another 
man, in case B should happen to have a blot at home. 

Those who play the foregoing game well, may be ranked in 
the first form. 

A Case of CuriosUy. 

n. A and B play at Backgammon. A has borne thirteen 
men, and has two men to bear upon his deuce point, B has 
thirteen men in his own tables, with two men to enter. B is 
to throw, and to name the throws both for himself and A, but 
not to hit a blot on either side : 

What throws is B to name for both parties, in order to 
save his gammon ? 

B calls for himself two aces, which enter his two men upon 
A's ace point. B also calls two aces for A, and consequently 
A cannot either bear a man, nor play one; then B calls for 
two sixes for himself and carries one man home upon his size 
point in his own tables, and the other he places upon his ad- 
versary's bar point : B also calls size-ace for A, so that A has 
one man left to bear, and then B calls for himself either two 
sixes, two fives, or two fours, any of which bear a man, in 
case he has men in his own tables upon those points, and to 
save his gammon. 

II. The following question is to be attended to, as being 
critical and instructive : — 

Suppose that all the points both on yours and your adver- 
sary's tables are covered : 

Also that you have one man to carry home, but that he has 
two men on your barr point to carry home, which lie in wait 
to catch your man, and that if you pass him you are to win 
the hit : suppose also that you have it in your choice to run 
the risk of being hit, by 7, or by 8, both of which are chances 
upon double dice : — 

Which of these ch_ances is it best for you to venture ? 

That of 7, for the following reasons : First, because that 
the chances of being hit by 7, or by 8, are equal. 

Secondly, If he does not hit 7, you will then have in your 
favor 23 chances to 13, that by your next throw -you either 
hit him or pass beyond him. 

Thirdly, In case your second throw should happen to be 
40S 



THE LAWS OF BACKGAMMON. 2^ 

under 7, and that consequently jou cannot hit him, yet you 
may play that cast at home, and consequently leave the blot 
up-^n double dice. 

Whereas if, on the contrary, you had left the blot upon 8, 
you would have made a bad choice, for«the reasons follow- 
ing : — 

First. Because the chances of being hit by 7, or by 8, are 
only equal. 

Secondly. Because if you should escape the being hit by 8, 
yet you would then have but 17 chances in your favor, 
against 19 for either hitting him, or passing beyond him by 
your next throw. 

Thirdly. In case your second throw should happen to be 
size-ace, which is short of him, you would then be obliged to 
play the man that is out of your tables, not being able to play 
the 6 at home, and consequently to leave a blot to be hit by 
a single Tor flat) die ; which event, upon supposition that you 
play for IS shillings a game, would entitle him to 11 shil- 
lings of the whole stake depending. 

THE LAWS OF BACKGAMMON. 

I. If you take a man from any point, that man must be 
played ; the same must be done if two men are taken from it. 

II. You are not understood to have played any man, till 
you have placed hjm upon a point, and quitted him. 

III. If you play with fourteen men only, there is no 
penalty attending it, because by playing with a lesser number 
than you are entitled to, you play to a disadvantage, by not 
having the additional man to make up your tables. 

IV. If you bear any number of men, before you have en- 
tered a man taken up, and which consequently you were 
obliged to enter, such men, so borne, must be entered again 
in your adversary's tables, as well as the man taken up. 

V. If you have mistaken your throw, and played, and if 
your adversary has thrown, it is not in your or his choice to 
alter it, unless both parties agree.

DRAUGHTS. 

This interesting and highly scientific game has, by several 
of the writers upon it, been held to have preceded chess, of 
which it is supposed to be the root or source. Whether it 
may claim descent from the Greeks or Scandinavians is a 
point that may be left to the antiquarian, without any great 
social loss should he never succeed in settling it. In like 
manner the attempt to confer upon it any higher character 
than that of a rational means for the- employment of a leisure 
hour may as conveniently be spared. The utility — in a gen- 
eral sense — of any mere game of science or skill, may be a 
question for philosophy — but it is one with which those who 
treat of its practical details have nothing to do — and of which 
most probably they could make nothing, if they had. Chess, 
according to Sir William Jones, dates some four thousand 
years back : if Draughts anticipated it, then, upon the prin- 
ciple that " age is honorable '^ the recreation we are about to 
treat of is one of no mean pretensions.* 

We do not discover, from any written record, that Draughts 
was much practised in Europe till the middle of the sixteenth 
century. In 16(58, an elaborate treatise upon it was published 
in Paris, written by a celebrated professor oY mathematics, M. 
Mallet. Nearly a century later Mr. William Payne, teacher 
of mathematics, published his celebrated Introduction to the 
Game of Draughts, London, 1756. Subsequently, in 1767, 
appeared "a Companion for the Draught-player,' ' by W. 
Painter, and there are other essays in type, but none that 
bear any comparison with '^ The Guide to the Game of 
Draughts, by Joshua Sturges, printed for the author, in Lon- 
don, 1800.'' Sturges worked up the whole of his predecessor's 
treatise in his more extended work, and with so much care 
and diligence, that half a century has elapsed without disturb- 

• In Mr. Angas's " Savage Life and Scenes," it is stated that draughts 
is plaj^ed by the savage tribes of the interior of New Zealand, under the 
name of E'mu, and that it does not seem possible they could have derived 
their knowledge of it from any other people.

ing the authority of his book. Mr "U^alker re-edited Sturges 
in 1835, and this improved edition is here given entire, with 
some additions by a skilful player of our metropolis, Mr. 
Martin. 

Draughts it should always be remembered is purely a game 
of calculation, and as such craves wary policy. It is played 
by two persons upon a board of sixty-four squares, colored 
alternately Black and White, or any other two opposite colors. 
The board is placed with an upper white corner on the right 
hand, which brings the double white square to the lower right- 
hand corner. 

~Each player has twelve men ; which on beginning the game, 
are placed on their respective sides, on the first three lines of 
white squares. The following diagrams represent the board 
and men in their original position; and also the mode in 
which the squares are conventionally numbered for the sake 
of reference.* It will be seen that, throughout this work, 
the upper half of the board is occupied by the twelve Black 
men, and the lower half by their antagonists, the White.

The men being placed, the game is begun by each player 
moving alternately one of his men, along the white diagonal 
on which they are first posted. The men can only move for- 
ward, either to the right or left, one square at a time, unless 
they have attained one of the four squares on the extreme line

familiar with the numerical position of the square that they can read and 
comprehend a series of intricate moves without even referring to the

of the board, on which they become kings, and can move 
either forward or backward, but still only one square at a 
time. The men take in the direction they move,. by leaping 
over any hostile piece or pieces that may be immediately con- 
tiguous, provided there be a vacant white square behind 
them. The piece or pieces so taken are then removed from 
ofif the board, and the man taking them is placed on the 
square beyond. If several pieces, on forward diagonals, 
should be exposed by alternately having open squares behind 
them, they may all be taken at one capture, and the taking 
piece is then placed on the square beyond the last piece. To 
explain the mode of taking by practical illustration, let us 
begin by placing the draughts in their original position. You 
will perceive that if Black should move first he can only move 
one of the men placed on 9, 10, 11, or 12. — Supposing him 
then to play the man from 11 to 15, and White answering 
this move by playing his piece from 22 to 18, Black can take 
White by leaping his man from 15 to 22 and removing the 
captured piece off the board. Should Black not take in the 
above position, but move in another direction, — for instance, 
from 12 to 16, he is liable to be huffed; that is. White may 
remove the man with which Black should have taken, from 
the board, as a penalty for not taking ; for, at Draughts, you 
have not the option of refusing to take, as at Chess, but 
must always take when you can, whatever be the conse- 
quence. The player who is in a position to huff his adver- 
sary has also the option of insisting on his taking, instead of 
standing the huff. When one party huffs the other, in pre- 
ference to compelling the take, he does not replace the piece 
his adversary moved ; but simply removes the man huffed, 
from off the board, and then plays his own move. Should 
he, however, insist upon his adversary taking the piece, in- 
stead of standing the huff, then the pawn improperly moved 
must first be replaced. 

To give another example of huffing. Suppose a white man 
to be placed at 28, and three black men, at 24, 15, and 6, or 
24, 16, and 8, with unoccupied intervals, he would capture all 
three men, and make a king, or be huffed for omitting to take 
them all, and it is not uncommon with novices to take one 
man, and overlook a second or third; ^' en prise'' (i. e., liable 
to be taken.) 
412 



DRAUGHTS. — ELEMENTARY. 29 

"When either of the men reaches one of the extreme squares 
of the board, he is, as already indicated, made a king, by- 
having another piece put on, which is called crowning him. 
The king can move or take both forward or backward ; keep- 
ing, of course, on the white diagonals. Both the king and 
common man can take any number of pieces at once which 
may be '' en prise " at one move, and both are equally liable 
to be huffed. For instance : if White by reaching one of 
the back squares on his antagonist's side, say No. 2, had 
gained a king, he might upon having the move, and the Black 
pieces (either kings or men) being conveniently posted at 
No. 7, 16, 24, 23, and 14, with intermediate blanks, take 
them all at one fell swoop, remaining at square 9. But such 
a coup could hardly happen in English draughts. One of 
the great objects of the game, even at its very opening, is to 
push on for a king ; but it is unnecessary to dwell much on 
the elementary part of the science, as the playing through 
one of the many games annexed, from the numbers, will do 
more in the way of teaching the rudiments of Draughts, than 
the most elaborate theoretical explanation. 

The game is won by him who can first succeed in capturing, 
or blocking up, all his adversary's men, so that he has nothing 
left to move ; but when the pieces are so reduced that each 
player has but a very small degree of force remaining ; and, 
being equal in numbers, neither can hope to make any decided 
impression on his antagonist, the game is relinquished as 
drawn. It is obvious that were this not the case, and both 
parties had one or two kings, the game might be prolonged day 
and night, with the same hopeless chance of natural termina- 
tion, as at the first moment of the pieces being resolved into 
the position in question. It has already been shown that when 
a man reaches one of the squares on the extreme line of the 
board, he is crowned and becomes a king; but there is 
another point relative to this, which it is necessary to under- 
stand. The man, thus reaching one of the extreme squares, 
finishes the move on being made a king, and cannot take any 
piece which may be " en priae.'* He must first await his 
antagonist's move, and should he omit to remove or fortify 
an exposed piece it may then be taken. To exemplify this, 
place a White man on 11, and Black men on 7 and 6 : — White, 
having the move, takes the man and demands that his own 
30* 413 



so DRAUGHTS. 

man should be crowned ; but, he cannot take the man on 6 at 
the same move ; which he could do were his piece a king when 
it made the first capture. But if the piece be left there after 
the next move he must take it. 

In particular situations, to have the move on your side, is 
a decisive advantage. This is a matter little understood by 
ordinary players, but its importance will fully appear by 
studying the critical situations. To have the move, signifies 
your occupying that position on the board which will eventu- 
ally enable you to force your adversary into a confined situa- 
tion, and which at the end of the game, secures to yourself 
the last move. It must, however, be observed, that where 
your men are in a confined state, the move is not only of no 
use to you, but, for that very reason, may occasion the loss of 
the game. To know in any particular situation whether you 
have the move, you must number the men and the squares, 
and if the men are even and the squares odd, or the squares 
even and the men odd, you have the move. With even men 
and even squares, or odd men and odd squares, you have not 
the move. This will be best explained by an example : Look, 
then, at the 8th critical situation, where White plays first ; 
there the adverse men are even, two to two ; but the White 
squares, being five in number, are odd. The squares may be 
thus reckoned — from 26, a White king, to 28, a Black king, 
are three, viz. 31, 27, and 24 — The AVhite squares between 
32, a White man, and 19, a Black man, are two, viz. 27 and 
23. You may reckon more ways than one, but reckon which 
way you will, the squares will still be found odd, and there- 
fore. White, so situated, has the move. When you have not 
the move, you must endeavour to procure it by giving man 
for man, a mode of play fully and successfully exemplified in 
this treatise. 

There is another mode which will, in less time than reckon- 
ing the squares, enable you to see who has the move. For 
instance, if you wish to know, whether any one man of your's 
has the move of any one man of your adversary's, examine 
the situation of both, and if you find a Black square on the 
right angle, under his man, you have the move : — For exam- 
ple, you are to play first, and your White man is on 30, when 
your adversary's Black man is on 3. In this situation, you 
will find the right angle in a black square between 31 and 32, 
4U 



DRAUGHTS. — THE MOVE. 81 

immediately under 3, and therefore you have the move This 
Rule will apply to any number of men, and' holds true in 
every case. 

There is a third mode, more ingenious still, communicated 
by Mr. Martin, and now published for the first time. Count 
ail the pieces (of both colours) standing on those columns 
(not diagonals) which have a white square at the bottom, and 
if the number be odd, and White has to play, he has the 
move ; if the number be even, the move is with Black. 

It is a mistake to suppose that any advantage is derived 
from playing first. It is admitted, that he who plays first has 
not the move, the men and squares being then both even; 
but, though he who plays second has the move, it can be of 
no service to him in that stage of the game. The truth is, 
that when the combatants continue giving man for man, the 
move will alternately belong to one and the other. The first 
player will have it at odd men, at 11, 9, 7, 5, 3, and 1 ; the 
second player will have it at even men, at 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, and 
2 J and therefore some error must be committed, on one side 
or the other, before the move can be forced out of that direc- 
tion. 

To play over the games in this work, number the White 
squares on your draught-board from 1 to 32, and remember 
that in our diagram the Black pieces always occupy the first 
twelve squares. The abbreviations are so obvious, that they 
cannot need explanation ;-»-a B. for Black, W. for White, 
Var. for Variation, &c. Occasionally, stars (asterisks) are 
introduced, to point out the move causing the loss of the 
game. The learner begins with the first game, and finding 
the leading move to be 11. 15 (that is, from 11 to 15), knows 
that Black begins the game. The second move 22, 18 belongs 
to White, and the game is thus played out ; each party moving 
alternately. After finishing the game, the player proceeds to 
examine the variations to which he is referred by the letters 
and other directions. The numerous variations on some par- 
ticular games, and the consequent necessity each time of 
going through the leading moves up to the point at which the 
variation arises, will, probably, at first, occasion some little 
fatigue ; but this will be soon forgotten in the speedy and 
decided improvement found to be derived from this course of 
study. One of the minor advantages resulting from a 

415 



32 DRAUGHTS. 

numerous body of yariations is, that, in tracing them out, the 
leading moves «are so frequently repeated that they become 
indelibly fixed in the mind of the player ; who thus remembers 
which moves are to be shunned as dangerous if not ruinous, 
and which moves are to be adopted as equally sound and 
scientific. 

As to general advice relative to draught-playing, next to 
nothing can be learnt from a volume of such instruction. 
The various modes of opening will be seen by reference to the 
accompanying examples. Among the few general rules that 
can be given you should bear in mind, that it is generally 
better to keep your men in the middle of the board, than to 
play them to the side squares, — as, in the latter case, one-half 
of their power is curtailed. And when you have once gained 
an advantage in the number of your pieces you increase the 
proportion by exchanges ; but in forcing them you must take 
care not to damage your position. If you are a chess-player, 
you will do well to compare the draughts in their march and 
mode of manoeu\Ting with the Pawns at Chess; which, as 
well as the Bishops or other pieces, are seldom so strong ou 
the side squares as in the centre of the board. Accustom 
yourself to play slow at first, and, if a beginner, prefer play- 
ing with those who will agree to allow an unconditional time 
for the consideration of a difficult position, to those who rigidly 
exact the observance of the strict law. Never touch a man 
without moving it, and do not permit the loss of a few games 
to ruffle your temper, but rather let continued defeat act as 
an incentive to greater efforts both of study and practice. 
When one player is decidedly stronger than another, he should 
give odds to make the game equally interesting to both par- 
ties. There must be a great disparity indeed if he can give 
a man, but it is very common to give one man in a rubber of 
three games ; that is, in one of the three games, the superior 
player engages to play with only 11 men instead of 12. — 
Another description of odds consists in giving the drawn 
games ; that is, the superior player allows the weaker party 
to reckon as won, all games he draws. Never play with a 
better player without offering to take such odds as he may 
choose to give. If you find yourself, on the other hand, so 
superior to your adversary, that you feel no amusement in 
playing even — offer him odds, and should lie refuse, cease 
416 



DRAUGHTS. — LAWS OF THE GAME. 33 

playing with him unless he will play for a stake ; the losing 
which, for a few games ia succession, will soon bring him to 
his senses, and make him willing to receive the odds you offer. 
Follow the rules of the game most rigorously, and compel 
your antagonist to do the same ; without which, Draughts are 
mere child's play. Never touch the squares of the board with 
your finger, as some do, from the supposition that it assists 
their powers of calculation, and accustom yourself to play 
your move off-hand when you have once made up your mind : 
without hovering with your fingers over the board for a cou- 
ple of minutes, to the great annoyance of the lookers-on. 
Finally, bear in mind what may well be termed the three 
golden rules to be observed in playing games of calculation : 
— Firstly, to avoid all boasting and loud talking about your 
skill — Secondly, to lose with good temper — and, Thirdly, to 
win with silence and modesty. 

LAWS OP THE GAME. 

1. The first move of each game is to be taken by the players 
in turn, whether the game be won or drawn. For the move 
in the first game at each sitting, the players must cast or 
draw lots, as they must for the men, which are, however, to 
be changed every game, so that each player shall use the' 
black and white alternately. Whoever gains the choice may 
either play first, or call upon his adversary to do so. 

2. You must not point over the board with your finger, nor 
do any thing which may interrupt your adversary's full and 
continued view of the game. 

3. At any part of the game you may adjust the men pro- 
perly on the squares, by previously intimating your intention 
to your adversary. This in polite society is usually done by 
saying " J'adoube." But after they are so adjusted, if you 
touch a man, it being your turn to play, you must play him 
in one direction or other if practicable ; and if you move a 
man so far as to be in any part visible over the angle of an 
open square, that move must be completed, although by mov- 
ing it to a different square you might have taken a piece, for 
the omission of which you incur huffing. The rule is " touch 
and move." No penalty, however, is attached to your touch- 
ing any man which cannot be played. 

4. lu the case of your standing the huff, it ia optional ou 

417 



84 DRAUGHTS. 

the part of your adversary, to take your capturing piece, 
whether man or king, or to compel you to take the piece or 
pieces of his, which you omitted by the hufi". The necessity 
of this law is evident, when the young player is shown that 
it is not unusual to sacrifice two or three men in succession, 
for the power of making some decisive " coup." Were this 
law diflPerent, the players might take the first man so ofifered, 
and on the second's being placed " en prlse,'^ might refuse to 
capture, and thus spoil the beauty of the game, (which con- 
sists in the brilliant results arising from scientific calcula- 
tion,) by quietly standing the huiT. It should be observed, 
however,- that on the principle of ^' touch and move,'' the 
option ceases the moment the huffing party has so far made 
his election as to touch the piece he is entitled to remove. — ■ 
After a player entitled to hufi" has moved without taking ^is 
adversary, he cannot remedy the omission, unless his adversrry 
should still neglect to take or to change the position of the i 
piece concerned, and so leave the opportunity. It does not 
matter how long a piece has remained '' en prise," it may at any 
time either be huffed or the adversary be compelled to take it. 
When several pieces are taken at one move, they must not be 
removed from the board until the capturing piece has arrived 
at its destination ; the opposite course may lead to disputes, 
especially in Polish draughts. The act of huffing is not reck- 
oned as a move, a " huff and a move" go together. 

5. If, when it is your turn to play, you delay moving above 
three minutes, your adversary may require you to play ] and 
should you not move within five minutes after being so called 
upon, you lose the game j which your adversary is adjudged 
to have won, through 3'our improper delay. 

6. When you are in a situation to take on either of two 
forward diagonals, you may take which way you please ; with- 
out regard (as in Polish Draughts) to the one capture com- 
prising greater force than the other. For example, if one 
man is "e;i pri&e" one way and two another, you may take 
either the one or the other, at your option. 

7. During the game, neither party can leave the room 
without mutual agreement ; or the party so leaving forfeits 
the game. Such a rule, however, could only be carried out 
with certain limitations. 

8. When, at the end of the game, a small degree of force 
418 



DRAUGHTS. — LAWS OF THE GAME. 85 

alone remains, the player appearing the stronger, may be 
required to win th* game in a certain number of moves ; and, 
if he cannot do this, the game must be abandoned as drawn. 
Suppose that three Black kings and two White kings were 
the only pieces remaining on the board ; the White insists that 
his adversary shall win or relinquish the game as drawn, after 
forty* moves (at most) have been played by each player. The 
moves to be computed from that point at which notice was 
given. If two kings remain opposed to one king only, the 
moves must not exceed twenty on each side. The number of 
moves once claimed they are not to be exceeded even If one 
more would win the game. A move, it should be observed, is 
not complete until both sides have played ; therefore, twenty 
moves, so called, consist of twenty on each side. In giving 
the odds of " the draw,'^ the game must, however, be played 
f > a more advanced state than is required in any other case. 
When in such a game the situations become so equal that no 
advantage can be taken, he who gives the draw shall not occa- 
sion any unnecessary delay by uselessly repeating the same 
manoeuvres ; but shall force his adversary out of his strong 
position, or, after at most 20 moves, lose the game through 
its being declared drawn. 

9. By-standers are forbidden to make any remarks what- 
ever, relative to the game, until that game shall be played 
out. Should the players be contending for a bet or stake, 
and the spectator say anything that can be construed into the 
slightest approach to warning or intimation, that spectator 
shall pay all bets pending on the losing side, should that side 
win which has received the intimation. 

10. Should any dispute occur between the players, not satis- 
factorily determined by the printed rules, the question must be 
mutually referred to a third party, whose decision shall be con- 
sidered final. Of course, should a player commit any breach 
of the laws, and refuse to submit to the penalty, his adversary 
is justified in claiming the game without playing it out. 

11. Respecting a false move, such as giving a common man 
the move of a king, or any other impropriety of the same sort, 
the law varies in difi"erent countries as to the penalty to be 
exacted by the opposite party. We cannot but suppose that 

* We think half the number would be better. 

419

DRAUGHTS. — ^LAWS OP THE GAME. 



415 



Bucli mistakes are unintentional, and consider it sufficient 
penalty that in all such cases the piece, touc Ved must be 
moved to whichever square the adversary chooses ; or, he has 
the option of allowing the false move to stand, if more to his 
advantage. Should the piece be unable to move at all, that 
part of the penalty cannot be inflicted. 

12. The rule (almost universal with English Draughts) is 
to play on the white squares. The exception ^limited we be- 
lieve to Scotland) is to play on the black. Wnen, therefore, 
players are pledged to a match without any previous agree- 
ment as to which squares are to be played on, white must be 
taken as the law. The colour of the squares, excepting so 
far as habit is concerned, makes no difference in their relative 
position on the board. 

In all cases, a player refusing to take, to play, or to com- 
ply with any of the rules, loses the game. Hence the saying 
" Whoever leaves the game loses it."

POLISH DRAUGHTS.

' 



This variety is played witli a table divided into one hun- 
dred squares, fifty of each colour, and with forty counters, 
(called indifferently either pieces, pawns, or men,) one-half 
black and the other white, each player having twenty of one 
colour. (In Germany, however, Polish Draughts is now fre- 
quently played on the ordinary board, with the usual com- 
plement of twenty-four pieces.) The counters are moved 
forward, as in the English game, and upon the same system, 
namely, obliquely, from square to square; but in taking, 
they move in the Polish game either backwards or forwards. 
The King,* too have the privilege of passing over several 
squares, and even the whole length of the diagonal, when the 
passage is free, at one move, which vastly adds to the amount 
of combinations. 

It is usual both in France and England to arrange the 
counters on the white squares; but they may by consent 

* In the Polish game, almost the only one played on the Continent, the 
crowned piece is called a Queen, instead of King. Indeed, the common 
name for Draughts is Damen (women,) it follows therefore naturally that 
the principal piece should be a queeu. 

510

be placed on the black. The colour adopted a matter of 
indiiference, excepting that the black pieces are not seen quite 
so well on their own colour as the white on theirs. 

The table is so placed, that each of the players has a double 
corner of the colour played on, to his right, viz. the squares 
numbered 45 and 50. The board, in first placing the pieces, 
is divided into two portions: that occupied by the black 
counters, comprising the twenty squares, from 1 to 20, and 
that occupied by the white, comprising those numbered from 
31 to 50, leaving between them two rows of squares unoccu- 
pied, upon which the first moves take place. 

The laws which regulate the English game are with a few 
additions equally applicable to the Polish. We have there- 
fore merely to give the directions for playing, and the two 
or three additional rules which belong peculiarly to this 
variety. 

The march of the Pawn, as already observed, is the same 
as in the English game, with this addition, that when there 
are pieces en prise (but not else) the taking Pawn may move 
backwards. Thus, White having a pawn at 25, and Black 
unsupported Pawns at 20, 9, 8, 17, 27, 38 and 39, White 
having the move would take them all, and finish at square 34. 
It will be observed that in this coup White passes a crowning 
square at 3, but he does not therefore become entitled to be 
made a King, nor has he the option of stopping en route, but 
must go on to the termination of his move at 34 or be huffed. 

The piece which captures, whether Pawn or King, cannot 
in the course of one coup repass any covered square which it 
has leaped over, but must halt behind that piece which, but 
for this restriction, would be en prise. For example, suppose 
White to hare a Pawn upon 22, 32, 33, and 37, with a King 
at 43, and Black a Pawn at 3, 4, 9, and 19, with Kings at 10 
and 13. The black Queen at 13 takes the four Pawns, 22, 
33, 43 and 73, and must stop at 28, which he would have to 
touch in preparing to take 32, but is prohibited from going 
to square 37 in consequence of having passed over it before. 
A square which is vacant may be passed or repassed several 
times in the course of one coup, provided no piece is passed 
over a second time. It is the intricacy of such moves which 
renders the rule imperative that the pieces taken be not re- 
moved till the capturing Pawn is at its destination or " eu 

6X1

repos." The White Pawn at 32, then takes the Black Pawn 
jeopardized at 28, as well as the pieces at 19 and 10; making 
a King. 

As regards huffing at this game the player is bound to take 
the greatest number of pieces where he has the choice, not- 
withstanding the smaller number may be most to his advan- 
tage, and failing to do so he may be huffed or compelled to 
take at the option of his adversary. Thus if on the one 
hand there are three Pawns en prise, and on the other two 
Kings, you are compelled to take the Pawns, but were there 
only two Pawns instead of three, you must take the Kings, as 
being of greatest value. When pieces, at the option of taking, 
are numerically and intrinsically the same, you may take 
which you please. The rule resolves itself into this, that you 
are controlled by numerical value, excepting when the num- 
bers are equal, and then by the actual value of the pieces. 

Kings are made in the same manner as in the English 
game. It has already been said that you cannot claim to 
have your Pawn crowned if it touches a King's square merely 
in its passage over it en coup. Good players, when they can- 
not prevent the adversary from reaching a King's square, 
commonly endeavour to lead him out again by placing a man 
or two in take, so as to disentitle him from being crowned. 
Indeed, it is sometimes good play to sacrifice three men, 
either for the object of gaining or capturing a King, espe- 
cially towards the end of the game, when he is of the great- 
est importance, much greater in proportion than at the Eng- 
lish game. 

The movement of the King is the great feature in this 
game, and in couj) he may accomplish more angles on the 
draught-board than a billiard-ball can be made to perform, 
even in the hands of a Kentfield. He has the privilege of 
traversing the board from one extremity to the other (if the 
line be unoccupied) or. of halting on any of the intermediate 
squares, like the Bishop at chess. Thus, if he stand at 28, he 
may move anywhere on the line between 5 and 46, or between 
6 and 50, but he can only move on one line at a time, unless 
there are pieces enp>rise, and then he may move diagonally all 
over the board, in which respect he has an advantage over the 
Bishop at chess. For example, place isolated black Pawns 
or Kings at 37, 17, 20, 30, 40, and a white King at 48. He 
612 



POLISH DRAUGHTS. 129 

will take all the pieces, by touching at the following squares, 
viz., 26, 3, 25, 34, and 45, where he rests, which squares, it 
will be perceived, though not close to the pieces, are within 
the angles. Indeed, it is possible so to place the pieces that 
a single King might capture a dozen in rotation. The follow- 
ing example is a case in which 19 may be taken at one coup. 
Pace a white King at 45, and he may take all the intervening 
pieces, by touching at the following squares, viz., 29, 18, 4, 
15, 29, 38, 27, 18, 7, 16, 27, 36, 47, 28, 49, 35, 24, 13, and 
2 where he rests. The player who may wish to try this ex- 
periment, will hare to place the pieces on squares 8, 9, 10, 
11, 12, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 41, 42, 43, 44. 

Between equal and skilful players the game would of ne- 
cessity be " drawn " in many positions, when the uninitiated 
would lose ; it is difficult therefore to define what are drawn 
games, but one or two of the simplest may be instanced. 
Suppose that at the end of the game one party, say White, 
has a King on the great central line, between Nos. 5 and 46, 
and Black has two or even three Kings, the game is drawn, 
as White cannot be driven from his hold, or captured, if he 
play correctly, and takes care to keep on the other side of a 
trap; thus, if he finds White preparing to get his pieces at 
37, 38, and 49, he must be between 5 and 28, and vice versa, 
that is, always on the adversary's unfortified or weak side. 
But when the single King does not occupy the central line, 
there are many ways of winning, especially against an inferior 
player, but as these cannot be forced, the game must be con- 
sidered drawn after 15 moves, and this rule holds good al- 
though the stronger party may have given odds. Should the 
odds, however, consist in ceding the draw as a game won, 
then twenty moves may be claimed by the party giving such 
odds. 

When at the conclusion of a game, a player, who has only 
one King, ofi"ers to his adversary, who has a King and two 
men, or two Kings and a man, to crown his two men, or the 
man, for the purpose of counting the limited moves, the lat- 
ter is obliged to accept the ofi"er, otherwise the former can 
leave the game as a draw. 

When one party at the end of a game has a King and a 
man against three Kings, the best way is to sacrifice the man 

513 



130 POLISH DRAUGHTS. 

as soon as possible, because the game is more easily defended 
with the King alone. 

In Polish Draughts especially it is by exchanges that good 
players parry strokes and prepare them ; if the game is em- 
barrassed, they open it by giving man for man, or two for 
two. If a dangerous stroke is in preparation, they avoid it 
by exchanging man for man. If it is requisite to strengthen 
the weak side of your game, it may be managed by exchang- 
ing. If you wish to acquire the move, or an advantageous 
position, a well managed exchange will produce it. Finally, 
it is by exchanges that one man frequently keeps many con- 
fined, and that the game is eventually won. . 

When two men of one colour are so placed that there is an 
empty square behind each and a vacant square between them, 
where his adversary can place himself, it is called a lunettej 
and this is much more likely to occur in the Polish than the 
English game. In this position one of the men must neces- 
sarily be taken, because they cannot both be played, nor 
escape at the same time. The lunette frequently offers several 
men to be taken on both sides. As it is most frequently a 
snare laid by a skilful player, it must be regarded with sus- 
picion ; for it is not to be supposed that the adversary, if he 
be a practised player, would expose himself to lose one or 
more men for nothing. Therefore, before entering the lu- 
nette look at your adversary's position, and then calculate 
what you yourself would do in a similar game. 

Towards the end of a game when there are but few Pawns 
left on the board, concentrate them as soon as possible. At 
that period of the game the slightest error is fatal. 

The King is so powerful a piece, that one, two, or three 
Pawns may be advantageously sacrificed to obtain him. But 
in doing so it is necessary to note the future prospects of his 
reign. Be certain that he will be in safety, and occupy a 
position that may enable him to retake an equivalent for the 
Pawns sacrificed, without danger to himself. An expert 
player will endeavour to snare the King as soon as he is 
made, by placing a Pawn in his way, so as to cause his being 
retaken.

LOSING GAME. 

This game, which is lively and amusing, may for variety's 
sake be occasionally played. Although not ranked as scien- 
tific, it has its niceties, and requires considerable attention 
and management. 

The player who first gets rid of all his men wins the game. 
Your constant object, therefore, is to force your adversary to 
take as many pieces as possible, and to compel him to make 
Kings, which is accomplished by opening your game freely, 
especially the back squares. Huffing, and the other rules, 
apply equally to this game.
